Hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, the young man glanced at his girlfriend and found her charming eyes looking at him tenderly. His heart pounded, and hormones surged.
This money couldn't be given too little!
No matter what, he had to prove to his girlfriend that for her, he could spend lavishly, treating money like dirt.
"Divine Doctor, is ten thousand yuan acceptable?" the young man asked Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Alright, ten thousand yuan it is!"
Ten thousand wasn't a lot!
But it wasn't a small sum either!
He immediately gave his bank account number to the other party.
The other party efficiently transferred the money to Cheng Xiaofan via mobile banking.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Xiaofan saw ten thousand yuan credited to his account.
"Divine Doctor, sell me a pill! I've been bitten by a venomous snake!" At this moment, a man nearby wailed.
Cheng Xiaofan's gaze fell on the man. He looked to be in his forties. Though he was dark and thin, he was a genuine cultivator.
Were cultivators these days this timid?
Even if being bitten by a venomous snake meant no cure, he shouldn't be crying, right?
Wasn't he afraid of losing face so completely?
"One Shenlong Pill, ten thousand yuan. Transfer the money to me first, and then I'll give you the pill!" Cheng Xiaofan looked down on such people the most.
They had no manliness at all, crying like women, which could make one's skin crawl.
"I'll pay! I'll transfer the money to you right away!" The man eagerly took out his phone.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately gave him his account number. Only after the money arrived did he take out a Shenlong Pill and hand it to him.
"Divine Doctor, I want to buy a Shenlong Pill too!"
One of the cultivators shouted loudly.
Seeing that man expel the snake venom rapidly after taking the Shenlong Pill, many people crowded around Cheng Xiaofan.
Everyone knew that before gaining dragon qi, survival was the most important thing.
If one lost their life, what was the point of cultivating?
With venomous snakes rampant here and people being bitten frequently, it was indeed essential to have a miraculous Shenlong Pill on hand.
"Master, you're here!"
Just then, Long Xingyun appeared before Cheng Xiaofan.
He pulled a beautiful young woman beside him and said, "Xueyan, this is my Master, Cheng Xiaofan, known in the martial world as Master Cheng!"
"Xueyan, Master Cheng is my master, which makes him your master too. Come, let's both pay our respects to Master!"
*Thump!*
Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Master above, your disciples Long Xingyun (Jiang Xueyan) pay their respects!"
"My two disciples, please rise quickly!" As soon as Cheng Xiaofan spoke, he thought to himself, this Long Xingyun is quite adept at finding loopholes.
In the blink of an eye, he had gained another female disciple.
Since the words were out, what was wrong with having another female disciple!
"Master, are you selling pills here?" Jiang Xueyan asked with great curiosity.
Cheng Xiaofan said with some embarrassment, "Not at all. Your master is merely doing good deeds here and collecting a handling fee."
"The raw materials for my Shenlong Pills are extremely rare, and refining them into pills is not easy. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't offer such pills."
"If it weren't for the widespread venomous snakes here and the high risk of death from bites, I wouldn't be offering these pills!"
Seeing his master's pained expression, Long Xingyun said, "Master, you truly have such a kind heart. If everyone in this world were like you, it would be such a beautiful place!"
"Master,"
Jiang Xueyan said with a smile as bright as a flower, "On the way here, Xingyun told me about your deeds, saying you are as kind as a saintess. Seeing you today, it is indeed true!"
Praise from these two made Cheng Xiaofan feel buoyant.
Having two disciples by his side was indeed beneficial – they were living advertisements!
With their publicity, even if he charged a hefty price, no one would dare to accuse him of being a profiteer.
Time was getting late. Cheng Xiaofan noticed many people lining up on the lake island, waiting to receive numbers to fish in the pavilions built around the lake.
Twenty people were limited to fishing in Nanshan Lake each day.
The vast majority of those who came to fish here were cultivators. Only a very small number, driven by intense curiosity, came hoping to catch fish that had been infused with dragon qi, just to taste what it was like.
The people on duty in the original guard room were from the fishery group. Cheng Xiaofan worried that if cultivators caused trouble, these people wouldn't be able to suppress them. He planned to have Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan come to Bamboo Creek Village in the afternoon to distribute the numbered tags.
Since Long Xingyun and his girlfriend had arrived, they would start working in the guard room directly.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the lake island!" Cheng Xiaofan beckoned to the two of them.
However, some people blocked his path, eagerly shouting, "Divine Doctor, don't rush off! Sell me a Shenlong Pill!"
"Yes, I want to buy one too!"
Cheng Xiaofan quickly said to them, "What kind of talk is that? I'm not selling these Shenlong Pills to you; I'm giving them to you for free, understand?"
"I'm merely collecting a small handling fee from you!"
"I've always valued my reputation. Please don't speak so harshly, or I won't give out these Shenlong Pills anymore!"
Upon hearing this, those people hastily said, "We apologize. We spoke carelessly and didn't say things properly. Please, Divine Doctor, don't take offense!"
"Yes, yes, we misspoke. Divine Doctor Cheng, please don't be angry!"
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand and said, "Fine, I won't be angry. If you want to get Shenlong Pills, go to the lake island later and ask my disciples."
Selling Shenlong Pills wasn't easy either.
Being surrounded by a crowd, their chatter disturbed his peace.
It was better to hand this matter over to Long Xingyun and his girlfriend, and he would just handle the money collection.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan led Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan to the guard room on the lake island and explained the tasks one by one.
Afterward, he took out two bottles of Shenlong Pills and handed them to Long Xingyun. He also wrote his bank account number on a piece of paper and placed it on the table.
Just then, Bai Yiling walked over.
"Xingyun, you and your girlfriend are here quite early!" Bai Yiling greeted them.
Seeing Bai Yiling enter the guard room, Long Xingyun nervously pulled Jiang Xueyan closer and said, "Xueyan, this is the Master's wife I told you about. Quickly, let's pay our respects to her!"
*Thump!* The two of them knelt before Bai Yiling again.
Bai Yiling had always been a person of cold disposition, usually giving others the impression of a cold, domineering CEO who rarely smiled.
In the past, especially in front of Long Xingyun, she had never once smiled at him.
Now, being knelt before by the two of them made her feel awkward.
"Get up quickly. From now on, we're all family. No need for such formality!" Bai Yiling said with a smile.
Hearing her words, the two of them finally stood up from the ground.
"Hey, I've been queuing since early this morning. When will you give me a numbered tag?" At this moment, someone outside loudly banged on the doors and windows, shouting impatiently.
